Navigation: 3 mega menus (Events, Eat + Drink, Explore) with 2/3 link pane + 1/3 editorial spotlight panel. 2 simple dropdowns (Parking + Safety, About) with icon + label + description per row. Donate CTA styled as distinct button. Editorial panels are CMS-managed single post references with fallback defaults; Explore groups subpages by section (Art + Culture, Shopping, Experiences, Stay); Shopping nav shows only Fashion, Gifts, and All Shopping (analytics-informed — other categories accessible via landing page); Mobile: editorial panels omitted.
Salon or spa interior — warm, personal. A stylist at work or a treatment room with character.
The District Has Your Back. And Your Hair.
Salons, spas, and wellness studios in walking distance of everything. The Short North's beauty and wellness scene is independent, personal, and — because you're already here — ridiculously convenient.
§1 — Wellness + Salons Hero. Directory page — hero signals browsable business listings, not date-driven events. 'The District Has Your Back. And Your Hair.' — playful, confident, slightly irreverent. Works across salons, spas, and wellness studios without privileging any one. CTA scrolls to directory. Photography: personal, warm, independent. Show a stylist at work or a treatment in progress — the relationship between provider and client matters. The image should make you want to book an appointment, not browse a catalog. This is the one Experiences subpage that's always-on (not event-driven), so the hero should feel timeless rather than seasonal.
Wellness + Salon Directory
Business listings from District 360 · Category: Wellness + Salons
[ Salon interior — stylist working, client relaxed. Personal, warm, the relationship visible. Not a product shot. ]
[Salon Name]
Full-service salon specializing in color, cuts, and styling. Walk-ins when available, online booking recommended. Independent and locally owned since [year].
[ Nail salon — detailed nail art or a manicure in progress. Clean, modern, creative. The artistry visible. ]
[Nail Studio Name]
Manicures, pedicures, and nail art that's worth the Instagram post. Clean, modern studio with online booking and a regular rotation of seasonal designs.
§2 — Wellness Directory Browse. Primary data source: District 360 business directory. Single "Open Now" filter toggle based on business hours data — keeps the UI simple given limited tagging data. No category badges on cards — the page itself provides enough context. Business cards show image, name, description, and profile CTA. This is the only Experiences subpage powered by the directory instead of the events feed.
Make a Day of It
You're already here. Might as well treat yourself completely.
[ Brunch scene — friends at a bright restaurant table, late morning light. The 'before' for a salon appointment or the 'after' for a spa visit. Relaxed, social, daytime. ]
Eat + Drink
A great brunch before your appointment or a glass of wine after your treatment. The Short North's restaurants are in walking distance of every salon and spa in this directory.
[ Shopping bag in hand, boutique storefront or shop interior — someone browsing with that 'I deserve this' energy. Post-salon glow meets retail therapy. ]
Shopping
Treat yourself completely. Fresh hair, fresh nails — now find something to wear. The Short North's boutiques are between your salon and your car.
§4 — Wellness Cross-Sell: 'Make a Day of It'. Two tiles — Eat + Drink ('A great brunch before') and Shopping ('Treat yourself completely'). 'Make a Day of It' framing: the appointment is the anchor, the cross-sell completes the outing. This is the only Experiences subpage that cross-sells to Shopping instead of Events or Art + Culture. The logic: salon/spa visitors are already in self-care mode — retail therapy is the natural extension. Eat + Drink tile: brunch energy, daytime. Shopping tile: post-salon glow, boutique browsing. Section 4 (Book Soon) is intentionally omitted on this page — Wellness is directory-based, not event-driven, so there's no time-filtered urgency module.
PRE-FOOTER — Global component displayed on every page. Combines newsletter signup + social links into a persistent strip above the footer.
Footer consolidates full sitemap. Social links in pre-footer above. Links connect to wireframes where available; # = placeholder for pages not yet wireframed.
